Differences in 6.1 from 6.0 ???? Bugs ???? Post 'em here

Didnt read through the whole thread, since I just finised flashing over and am happy about this:

In task manager, you can now go to an app that you have running by clicking on it. I know for me, somethimes I'd have to close an app because I couldnt get the window to come back after doing something else, and have to restart it, so this is very nice!

But unfortunately I get a "Your current location is temporarily unavailable" with google...anybody else getting this?

Yeah... the quality is better than what I achieved when I edited the registry to enable 320X240. Maybe I will try the regedit to increase the bitrate and see if that increases the quality even further.

Might not be the help you wanted, but if you have the option to forward your MSN accounts out, try setting up a free Live account as mail2web.com. You'll get free Exchange hosted email (which IMHO works far better than Windows Live), and at least that way you'll receive your email from both of your email accounts.

Thanks for trying to help. I've reflashed, and can now get my work MSN account through XPress Mail (yay!)

I'll try out mail2web when I have a chance - I have to reload and rehack some stuff.

So, I'm happy I can get at least one e-mail account. What I am not happy about is the inability of ActiveSync to actually, ya know, sync anything. My contacts are cool, I have to uncheck Tasks or I get an error, and if I enter an appointment on the Q I get an error/if I enter on the PC it doesn't sync at all.

Regarding battery life, I've had mixed experiences. I have both an Exchange (15 min peak, 30min off peak) and a POP (30 min all around) set up on this phone. Initially I had what appeared to be an improved battery life (went down about 20% after a days use). But then I felt my phone on my bed just the other minute and it was warm. I went into the task manager and saw ActiveSync was the only thing running. I'm sure this has something to do with my changing the scheduling for the exchange account from 30 -> as they arrive while in off peak times... but I'll mess around with it to be sure. Man that SOB getting hot scared the crap outta me.

As stated above, you can shoot video at a larger res (320x240)... and the sliders are pretty much jesus. One of the sliders by default is to browse all photos. Initially I thought that it would only look on the device memory for these photos, but it actually looks all them both. Good time to mention that my all my 8GB microSD is recognized.

Something else worth noting is I think the ringer settings got louder. For example, a "3" on 6.0 is now a "2" or less on 6.1. Anyone else experience this, or is that all in my head?

I've had no additional problems connecting to either Edge or 3G. I say additional because my phone can't decided which network to be on in my house... so it's hit or miss. I'd also like to join the "OMFG GPS IS SO MUCH FASTER" group, as it's quite nice having Google Maps/Windows Live find me in a matter of seconds instead of minutes.

Nothing else comes racing to my mind at the moment, so I'll leave it at that for the time being.

Edit 1: I noticed something this morning. My exchange account isn't syncing properly with the "sent items". I know it was syncing fine with 6.0... but my buddy who has a Moto Q (first) says his sent items aren't syncing either. I've deleted the relationship and re-added it, but that didn't fix the issue. I'll talk to our exchange admin this afternoon.

Edit 2: I figured it was an easy fix. When picked what folders you sync, be sure to go into the "manage folders" option and select your sent items folders to sync. This was not selected by default like it was in 6.0.

Definitely my experiences too.
I use BT a lot. Used to be with BT connected and "Normal" selected, the phone audio was very low. Now, with BT connected, it sounds as if the phone is on "Outdoor" and not "Normal".

I upgraded successfully, and I loved the new OS. However, since the upgrade, the quality of the bluetooth connection in my car ('07 Infiniti G35x) has deteriorated significantly, and the phone keeps on rebooting for no particular reason - in particular right in the middle of calls. So I'm downgrading back to 6.0 unfortunately... :-( One other issue I've had is that the browser (Opera) often just doesn't open until I have to do a reboot. I've had to reboot my phone many times since the upgrade.

PS. Mexicen - thanks agaion for putting this out there. I guess I'll wait till AT&T unveils it, and then I can call their support to see if they can resolve the issues I'm having.

You're not alone with the opera hangup. happens to me too. goes throgh the loading process (pinwheel) then its gone...

also, all my incomming calls are being listed under the missed call, not recieved...anybody having this one? or with their "my position" (google maps) saying its not working?

Some of the issues I've been haviing with WM 6.1 are showstoppers for me. Specifically, the phone resetting in the middle of calls sometimes, the bluetooth quality issue, and the reduced battery life. I'd like to get back to WM6.0. However, I tried doing this using the same procedure that Mexiken desribed for installing this one, but obviously with the 6.0 rom (that Mexiken posted). I get an error mid way through the installation that the phone did not respond to an enumeration request. After that, WM6.1 is still there, and everything still works. Any ideas?
